Garage Door Opener

We recommend a professional tune up at least once a year to combat the effects of Manvel's humid and salty air. Annual service includes lubricating the drive chain or screw checking the force settings and ensuring the emergency release is functional. Regular maintenance prevents the motor from straining against a poorly balanced door which is the leading cause of premature opener failure.

Decreased range is often caused by low batteries or local radio frequency interference from other electronic devices in your Manvel home. However it can also indicate that the antenna wire on the motor head is damaged or that the logic board is beginning to fail. If replacing the batteries doesn't work a technician can check for internal interference or install an external receiver to boost the signal.

Excessive vibration is usually caused by loose mounting hardware or an imbalanced garage door putting uneven strain on the opener. Over time the vibration can shake internal components loose, leading to electrical shorts or mechanical failure. A professional repair technician will tighten all lag bolts, check the motor's attachment to the ceiling and ensure the rail is properly aligned.
